How did you see  FITF? Do you have any suggestions for the variety of works participating in the festival?

- Some of the shows had stage captions, which made me understand the content when I saw the show, but some shows did not have stage captions and we were not given their text; So I had to look carefully and understand the content and event on stage from the energy and feeling of the performers; Therefore, it is better that all shows have stage captions.

                                                                                                                              

How do you evaluate the quality level of the works in terms of  international section  or national sections?

-They had subjects that represented current problems, such as immigration. Some shows dealt with classical theater and showed it with their own point of view, like Hamlet and Macbeth, or the show from the country of Oman, which was a mystical show based on music and about the war between good and evil. Some shows also recounted a story; like the mourning story of one thousand and one nights; Fajr Theater Festival is a big festival and people from different regions of Iran participated in it, and it had various sections, such as nations, international, street, etc. Even the shows that were held in the street section were very good shows. It is important to support the performances of small towns, because theater is formed by supporting the artists of these small towns. The festival is a way that you can educate the viewer, the audience, etc., and this is how you can create everything together. Also, by performing the show, you can build art schools. All this is formed through the festival. You can find an audience.

How was the judging process? Did it go according to plan?

-In my opinion, all the jury members were competent and had good taste. For example, South Korea is a country that takes a serious look at culture. Our Iranian colleagues were also very competent and all of them were professionals and knew what events were happening in the world in their work.

They did not deal with the issue in a biased way. They had good intentions.
